| Health Benefits:
Cashew butter is an excellent source of monounsaturated fats, the heart-healthy type that helps to lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. Cashew butter also is a good source of two minerals, calcium and magnesium which are essential for the production and maintenance of healthy bones.
Cashew butter offers a great nutritional boost to sandwiches, sauces, gravies and dips. High in nutrients and delicious too.
Even though nuts like cashews are high in calories, studies have shown that nut lovers are less likely to be overweight than those that avoid nuts. This may be due to the high protein and fibre content which lead to a sense of satiety, as well as the large quantity of monounsaturated fats. A little cashew butter spread on a piece of whole grain bread makes a quick and healthy breakfast or a mid-afternoon snack that really satisfies.
Use:
Delicious as a spread or use as a cooking ingredient.
